Interesting NEW Research Topic in Chemistry

Sat 22 Mar 2008 15:58:34 | 3 comments

 Hope you already heard this news. An interesting new research topic in chemistry?

 Researcher Dr. John Tse and his colleauges in Germany reported superconducting activity in a new family of
hydrogen compund. They put hydrogen in to a molecular compund and applied high pressure inorder to get superconductivity.
Most commercially available superconducting materials operates only at very low temperatures. This requires
super cooling equipments which are highly expensive.Their research in this area is aimed at improving the
critical temperature (Tc) for superconductivity so that new superconductors can be operated at higher temperatures
or even without a refrigerant. Anyway this seems to be an important breakthrough in modern Chemistry. Superconductivity
almost lost its past charm and glamour in research and now this brilliant chemists opened a new way
in modern chemistry.

Its an interesting idea! its true that this kind of research is not well persued currently in most of the European laboratories. But Germany puts a more emphasis on basic research and no wonder this result came from there! By the way, I could understand that Dr. John Tse is from Canada, and its his coworkers who are from Germany. Whatever, this is a very current and informative piece of knowledge! Cheers!
This kind of information was one of the reasons for joining this group! It is terribly difficult trying to keep up with all that is current - let alone all that soon will be current. Thank you for helping to keep chemists like me informed! Bill
Thanks Bill. I m excited with new developments in chemistry research and like to share it with others too.
